"I stopped commenting on social media with questions or pushback on leftist opinions for fear of being called out." https://t.co/YcrzhpqxXx— Beau Dure 🇺🇦🌈🖖☮️ (@duresport) July 15, 2017 So a lefty activist calling out the search for purity on the SJW crowd. Btw, shit dude says he wants to oblibarate capitalism, I guess I am not a lefty then since Iike capitalism. https://www.autostraddle.com/kin-ae...-me-from-the-church-of-social-justice-386640/
He used to cover soccer for USA today, and regularly post on bigsoccer. The tweet guy, not the author. The author has an interesting passage about another danger, too... Postcolonialist black Caribbean philosopher Frantz Fanon in his 1961 book Wretched of the Earth writes about the volatile relationship between the colonizer and the colonized, and the conditions of decolonization. In it, he sharply warns the colonized against reproducing and maintaining the oppressive systems of colonization by replacing those at top by those previously at the bottom after a successful revolution. As a QTPOC (queer, trans person of color), I have experienced discrimination and rejection due to who I am. I have sought out QTPOC-only spaces to heal, find others like me, and celebrate our differences. Those spaces and relationships have saved me from despair time and time again. And yet, I reject QTPOC supremacy, the idea that QTPOCs or any other marginalized groups deserve to dominate society. The experiences of oppression do not grant supremacy, in the same way that being a powerful colonizer does not. Justice will never look like supremacy. I wish for a new societal order that does not revolve around relations of power and domination.
Lol at a guy writing about wanting to obliterate capitalism while also writing about his desire for an open, free society in the same breath.
Does anyone else think that the left wing and right wing have now reverted on the culture wars? http://www.businessinsider.com/liberals-can-win-if-they-stop-being-so-annoying-2017-7
I don't think it's just the media. My Facebook feed is full of people telling others appropriate behaviors: no sombreros on cinco de mayo!, white people cant make tacos, I even had the eat less meat one like a few days ago. Any minor disagreement is met with a forceful response. Not to mention the check your privilege purification ritual. I don't think it's a media issue. It's a culture issue. The left won the last culture war and like any victorious army simply rearmed and marched further.
You know how you can tell if someone is a vegetarian? Oh, they'll tell you. (Did I mention I'm a vegetarian? It's true. I'm a vegetarian.)
The problem is that they are the future of the Democratic party, shit we (the left) may end up nominating our own lefty version of a Donald Trump in 2020, can you say President Kayne West. Come on @Jazzy Altidore your side gave us President Trump, just wait while our crazy left says hold my beer.
Quick aside about tofu. It CAN be prepared to taste delicious. So why does virtually no restaurant prepare it correctly? I mean, the actual ********. It's got to be political. Don't tell me it's not.
I'm sure one can endeavor to call thick-crusted tomato paste-and-cheese casserole coming from the shores of Lake Michigan "pizza", too, but that doesn't mean it isn't the extreme exception to the point of utter improbability.
What do Zell Miller and Chris "tingly leg" Matthews have to do with ultra-processed soybean curd or deep dish. I'm not watching out of respect for my ears.
